Fever Coach Issues Powerful Reminder To Caitlin Clark, Indiana Ahead Of WNBA Opener

The Indiana Fever have the most hype they’ve ever entered a season with. Indiana welcomed the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, Caitlin Clark, set to embark on a historical season for the team.

Fever head coach Christie Sides has been vocal about keeping the team focused on the hardwood since attention off the court could hurt the team’s development.

Indiana’s attention will help its revenue and home-court advantage, but the bright lights may deter Sides’ influence on the team.

Sides spoke on the season and the team’s talent, getting ready to play their opener on Tuesday against the Connecticut Sun.

“We have a lot of talent. We have a lot of ways to beat people. Just be you,” said Sides, via X.
